The Gonzaga University and University of Washington men's basketball rivalry might not be dead after all.
Rumors started swirling around Seattle on Wednesday that UW sent a proposal for a three-game series to GU. The proposal is asking that every game be played at KeyArena in Seattle.
Gonzaga athletic director Mike Roth confirmed on Wednesday night that he did receive a proposal from the Huskies on Tuesday.
"I have always been of the opinion this is a good game for both schools, a good game for the state of Washington and a good game for basketball in the Pacific Northwest."
Roth added that the series should be "equitable for both schools" if the rivalry is going to be revived.
"I have always believed it is a game best played on the two campuses because of the great college basketball atmosphere in both campus venues."
Roth finished by saying the renewal of the series will be decided by the two athletic directors and the two head coaches in private discussions.
